Mark, Shane, restoca (sorry don't know your real name), these postcards are great I have started adding them in the Park Index pages under the heading of nostaglia. Keep em coming.

Natalie - In my book you have solidified your place in top echelon of PTR creators along with: Chuck (cfc), Scott (BeemerBoy) and Derek

Is this the 1st week Wes will not finish in 2nd place?

^Oh boy are you special. The Title Fairy does not directly address just anyone.

I'm glad this is going well. Please keep us updated on the final percentage of people who did not follow instructions and did not list facts.

How is he going to find Nicole's killer now that he is incarcerated? A grave injustice.

^so what is the second password. I used "claire" to get to the Assignment Tracker Page, but can't access the files on that screen with "claire" as the password.

Carnage you are dead to me. The disturbing image of you in a women's one piece swimsuit still tortures me.

^probably depends on the type of coloring agent used. I'm sure they are some out there that do not stain.

^People spend an enormous amount of time siting at their computers. They need the fresh air.

Hey Jim, Good to see you newlyweds at a park together. I know I told you before, but congrats and best wishes on the marriage.

^I guess it depends on the vehicle you drive. Not in the FamilyTruckster

Both attractions close for the season on Labor Day.

I'd have to say Ronnie James Dio had the best voice, even though I'm not a fan of his stuff. I'm still partial to Paul McCartney and his range. Although I'm a big fan of Springsteen and Metallica I don't think Hetfield or Bruce have "great" voices.

I voted for the kid that looks like he has Down's Syndrome.

I hope you are right, but remember Lo-Q was brought in at SF prior to Snyder being is charge and SF wasn't known for being very fiscally responsible back then.

I didn't realize the stairs up to Lady Liberty's crown were never re-opened. What a shame! I made that trek at least a half dozen times when I was in school.

and that is why you must die

1 - HRP's marketing efforts were crap. The "Hard Rock" name connotes extreme but that is not what the park is about. The 14 million annual visitors to Myrtle Beach need to know more than just the name of the park. 2 - Lack of water rides, in that environment is just plain stupid 3 - Pricing structure was just not thought out. 4 - Very poor (and insufficient) flat ride selection For the record the things I really liked 1 - Atmosphere 2 - Food, I thought the food at the restaurants was fairly priced, varied at different locales and they had may unique offerings (Sopapillas, yum!) 3 - Souvenirs were excellent 4 - Shows were all well done.

As part of the Grand Strand, Myrtle Beach is part of sixty miles of sandy white beaches along the beautiful, blue Atlantic Ocean which is your playground for fun, excitement, and relaxation. With close to 14 Million people visiting Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand each year, Myrtle Beach has earned the title of the No. 1 Family Beach in America. Now you may consider yourself more informed.

^You can't look at one SF park in isolation when analyzing the situation. Also, wasn't this year's scenario with Flash Passes selling out quite frequenytly at SFGAdv similar to last year.

With the info you provided conclusions can not be drawn. We do not know is Lo-Q is paid based on the number of units that a park (buy or rents) or if Lo-Q gets a percentage of the sales made by each park. Without that knowledge of Lo-Q's business model it is difficult to say if Lo-Q's equate to great Aug/Sept business from Six Flags. Also, if Lo-Q has a new agreement with Cedar Fair I'm sure that would have been made known through a PR announcement from either Lo-Q or CF.

Well The Ultimate beats up your body while Corkscrew gives you the head shots.

Is there still time for a "Black Sunday" event tonight?

Not only is Lightwater Valley a subpar park (and I enjoyed The Ultimate and rat Ride), but The Ultimate is not a coaster that the thread starter (Ginzo) would enjoy. He prefers smoother rides. Nemesis is rubbish? That's quite an interesting perspective. I guess you could consider Alton average if you don't enjoy: A great log flume (bathtubs), shooting dark ride, the best Mad House and a beautiful scenic garden to walk through on top of an above average coaster line-up.
